" Sidharth we don't have much time so listen to it carefully, we have to perform c- section instantly, shehnaaz's blood pressure is very high, the labour just stopped and progressing slowly,"
" but doctor pehle toh apne kha tha we can go for a normal delivery, she seems to be very normal and fine,"
" Your babies isn't in a head-down position for birth. The babies is in a breech position, it means their bottoms or feet are facing down. A transverse position is when the baby's shoulder is facing down.
" sidharth you have to sign a consent form, hum zyada der nh kar skte hai, please be strong and fulfil the formalities,"
" all" he took a deep breathe before saying anything further.
" all...of..themmm...wi..ll .be..fine..right doctor" His words broke up and all he could say were stuttering sounds, he squeezed his eyelids shut in the hope his tears would stop, His choppy breathing and watery eyes remained for quite some time, and he sat there unmoving.
" I will try my best sidharth,"
" Mam operation theater ready hai and we shifted her" one of the nurses came to inform her.
" sidharth jab tak tum sign nh krte mein leke nh jaa skti please" he nodded signing the form without thinking twice, he has to do this for them, it's not the time to think.
" how much critical it is???" he questioned.
" dr we have to operate fast, the heartbeats of one of the babies are dropping and we are afraid..."
" give her a general anaesthesia now, we don't have time to go for an epidural it will take time" the nurse nodded.
He just stare with wide open eyed cannot shut, like the whole world is breaking crumble apart around him... he didn't even shake.. Just there he was in total paralysis without realizing what will happen after that
" sidharth ky hua doctor ne ky kha, sb khuch theekh toh hai what's happening, woh log ushe operation theater kyu leke gye hai" Hamid inquired, he rubbed his face taking a deep breath.
" they need to operate, Aly Tu Ghr chla ja Chachi aur Chachu ko leke woh log thake hue honge"
" mein chor ke aa rha hu wapis" he said.
" ghazal akeli hai ghr pe aise acha nh lgta hai, she will..be..fine"
" apk awaz khuch aur keh rhi hai bahi maine nh jana aise," He replied.
" sidharth hum sb yahi rukte hai operation khatam hone ke baad hi jayenge, aise bachi ko chor ke humse nh jaya jayega" sultan stated turning back, he wiped his tears, the name of operation theatre brings backs the painful memory where he almost lost her.
***********
A catheter inserted to keep shehnaaz's bladder empty, the heart and blood pressure monitors were applieda and an IV was in her hand to give her medicine and fluid.
the abdomen will be cleaned with an antiseptic, and the nurse placed an oxygen mask over her mouth and nose to increase oxygen to the baby. Next, she places a sterile drape around the incision site and over her legs and chest. Finally, raising a sterile curtain or drape between her head and lower body.
She make an incision through her skin and into the wall of her abdomen horizontally.
She cuts a 3- to 4-inch incision into the wall of her uterus.
" I can see the baby" she pulled the first baby and handed it over to the nurse to clean her up, the sound of her cries resonated in the allies of the hospital.
The last fifteen minutes were very scary for everyone and especially for him, he didn't blink his eyes for once, his knees gave up as soon as he heard the crying sound of their baby but he is waiting to hear the cries of one more, he didn't tell any of them about the condition, his heartbeats start rising when after five minutes he didn't hear the cries.
" doctor he is not responding, what to do" the nurse asked.
" oxygen mask lagao fast" she puts a small mask over his nose or face or tubes into his nose.
" try to rub his feet and hands" she yelled out loud, using a special needle and thread she sewed the skin together while giving instructions to the nurse.
" doctor he is trying to breathe, yes yes he is breathing," the nurse said with a long sigh.
" but he is not crying"
" That's okay if he is breathing, let him be comfortable."
**********
" dusre bache ki awaz kyu nh aa rhi hamid, itna waqt thodi na lagta hai" ruksaar asked.
" khuch nh hoga, a bhi aayegi don't worry, Allah pe bharosa rkho, wait kr"
" Bahi sb theekh honge" aly said hugging sidharth, and the tears he is controlling falls on his cheeks seeing doctor Anjali and one nurse with their babies, he hugged him tightly wrapping his hands around her waist.
" they are here" he voiced out, coming out of the hug, he rubbed his hands together to ease his nervousness.
" congratulation to all of you, it's a boy and a girl" Dr. Anjali informed them with a tired smile on her face, he is staring towards them, don't know what to do next, they are so so small, wasn't like he is looking at the little strangers he had never seen before. It like as if they looked exactly the way he knew they would look, like he is gazing into a face he had known his whole life.
" do you want to hold them" Dr. Anjali asked seeing him not moving.
" i don't know how, they are so small" all of them have tears in their eyes seeing the most beautiful moment in front of their eyes while aly took out his mobile to capture it"
" just sit down I will hand you over"
"doctor can I hold them together I mean I don't want..." she nodded.
She handed over the babies, giving some instructions which he followed carefully,
"They are very small and fragile" he stated with amazement lacing in his tonne, it's not the first time he is seeing the new born but the feelings can't be described it feels way much different, the feeling of exhilaration, anxiety, happiness, exhaustion, and pride all come together, when they looked directly into his eyes, he thought he might break them, he placed kisses on their forehead one by one and they make an incoherent sound trying to register what happened..
" shehnaaz??" he asked.
" she is still unconscious because of anaesthesia,"
" sidharth we need to feed them and I wanted to have a word with you"
" how will you feed them??" he asked seeing them crying their heart out, his heart pained seeing them like this.
" the nursed pumped out the milk from shehnaaz breasts we will feed them" he nodded giving the babies to the nurses.
" umm sidharth hume babies ko khuch din ke liye NICU mein rakhna padega, they are not fully developed, your son is not able to breathe properly and as they are premature babies we can't take any risks,"
" for how many days??"
" depends on their conditions and how they will do" he nodded.
" par shehnaaz, usne abhi babies ko nh dekha hai," he said.
" I know abhi khuch waqt mein the effect of anaesthesia subsides, uske baad hum babies ko wahan shift kr denge but I am sorry we have to shift your son now onwards" he nodded.
" can I see her??"
" you can, hum icu mein shift kr rhe hai uske baad aap mil lena"
" thank you Dr thank you so much" he thanked her from the bottom of his heart.
" When you meet your baby
for the first time, it is like
meeting your reason to live."
Finally, the babies are here, for the first time he holds them in his arms, and the feelings are undefined, I hope you can fill his emotions like me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
